IAT resistor? I bought my car and it already had the 1le elbow,and i guess a resistor put on the IAT sensor,so the hole on the elbow was plugged off,is this normally done?? my car has a pcmforless.com tune so im wondering if it would throw off my tune,anyone have any help? should I try to find the sensor and plug it in or leave it the way it is now?
Sometimes people put the IAT sensor down on the intake tract to pick up cooler air. I am not real sure of all the implications of that mod but I personally wouldn't do it. Make sure the person hasn't done that mod to your car. I'm not sure where your actual sensor would have gone. Is the plug/pigtail still present?

Off the top of my head, it's on the same strand as the water pump temp sensor, the alternator plug, the IAC, and TPS sensors. Pull that mess of wires and see if something is dangling.
